LISA ’10

“It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.” – Indiana Jones to Marion Ravenwood in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Indiana Jones might be onto something. This year’s LISA conference was held in San Jose, California. And, although I traveled a long way, other attendees came from distances that dwarfed mine.

This year’s conference theme was “Uncovering the Secrets of System Administration” [1], and the décor throughout the conference was reminiscent of an Indiana Jones movie, complete with fedora-wearing conference organizers!
